Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pantyhose under garment and, more particularly, to a pantyhose under garment having sheer leg portions that end with knitted-in welts just below or above the knees and a control top portion having good shaping and control characteristics that terminates in the waist region with a knitted-in welt.
  • Traditional underwear creates undesirable panty lines under clothing, especially when worn with slim fitting skirts and slacks. In addition to panty lines, traditional underwear can become easily misplaced, causing discomfort to the wearer. This also creates bulges under clothing.
  • One alternative to traditional underwear is underwear known as a "g-string.” This type of underwear is comprised of one piece of fabric that goes up the buttocks of the user so that panty lines do not occur.
  • this under garment offers no support and is extremely uncomfortable to some users and may not be an option at all for users with vulvar conditions such as vulvar vestibulitis.
  • pantyhose would be visible when worn under certain types of clothing, which normally is undesirable.
  • pants that stop below the knees typically referred to as “capri pants”
  • pantyhose are not desired while wearing most stylish shoes (i.e., open-toed shoes, sandals, etc.).
  • pantyhose designs are known which do not cover the feet, those designs do not solve all of the aforementioned problems.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,351,068 discloses a footless pantyhose design.
  • One of the objectives of this design is to provide air ventilation to the foot to prevent "athlete's foot” from occurring.
  • the upper reinforced portion of the pantyhose often referred to as the control top, does not extend down over the region where the need for support is often the greatest, i.e. the "saddlebag" region.
  • the waist and leg portions have elastic bands at their points of termination. Elastic bands are tight on the skin and, in many cases, leave indentations in the skin and may cut off circulation causing extreme discomfort for the user.
  • elastic bands are not produced during the knitting process, i.e.; they are not knitted in during the knitting of the hose. Rather, they are sewn on after the hose have been knitted.
  • leg portions of this design extend to the ankle and, therefore, would be visible when worn under capri pants or with open-toed shoes. Also, when women cross their legs, most pants rise up on the leg and, therefore, the pantyhose may be visible even when worn with normal length pants, which is also normally undesirable.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,862,523 discloses a pantyhose garment having leg portions that terminate at the ankle.
  • One of the objectives of this design is to help prevent sagging of soft body tissues.
  • the garment has elastic bands running throughout it. As stated above, elastic bands bulge and create lines that can be seen under clothing and can produce discomfort.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,097,537 discloses a hosiery garment that has detachable feet and leg sections. This design is intended to prevent the entire pantyhose from being ruined if a "run" occurs in a portion of the garment.
  • the design is also intended to accommodate several different fashion purposes. The different sections are attached with elastic bands, which have the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • a garment having this design would not provide the user with a slimmer or smoother appearance.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,590,548 discloses a legged panty having strategically located support panels for minimizing the appearance of undesirable body bulges.
  • the panty is circularly knit. However, the panty does not have discrete leg portions.
  • a need also exists for such a pantyhose garment is manufactured in a continuous knitting process so that the supportive regions blend in with the more sheer regions without creating seams or bands that can easily be seen through clothing.
  • the present invention provides a pantyhose under garment having relatively sheer leg portions that end with knitted-in welts just below or above the knees, and a reinforced control top portion having good shaping and control characteristics that terminates at the top of the waist region with a knitted-in welt.
  • the pantyhose under garment provides the user with shaping support and because the lower leg is bare it gives the user the freedom to wear any type of shoe (i.e., open-toed shoes, sandals, etc.). Pantyhose worn with open shoes are usually undesirable. Furthermore, pantyhose may be dangerous when worn with open shoes because the foot slips in the shoe. Moreover, there are many occasions when the user wants a more casual look in clothing, and therefore pantyhose on the foot and ankle would not be desired.
  • the reinforced control top portion of the present invention extends down the leg portions of the pantyhose far enough to provide support over the "saddlebag" and cellulite regions of the body.
  • the knitted-in welt at the waist region blends into the control top without causing waist constriction.
  • the knitted-in welts at the ends of the leg portions blend into the leg portions without causing leg constriction.
  • the overall design provides the user with a smooth, tight appearance when worn under clothing, without causing the user to suffer discomfort.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the under garment of the present invention in accordance with the preferred embodiment wherein the leg portions terminate below the knees.
  • the under garment of the present invention in accordance with another embodiment wherein the leg portions terminate above the knee is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the same numerals will be used to describe like elements.
  • the under garment 1 may be manufactured in a conventional manner with conventional knitted fabric materials, such as, for example, nylon, LYCRA®, spandex, silk, cotton, etc.
  • the under garments 1 and 2 are manufactured on a circular hosiery knitting machine using a circular hosiery knitting process.
  • knitted-in welts are knitted in during the knitting process at the waist-terminating region and at the leg terminating regions. This enables the garment to be manufactured in one, continuous knitting process, as opposed to performing an additional manufacturing process after the knitting process has been performed in order to attach elastic bands, as in the aforementioned prior art.
  • Circular knitting machines and processes are well known. Those skilled in the art will understand the manner in which the garments 1 and 2 of the present invention can be manufactured using such a machine and process.
  • the pantyhose garment 1 comprises two leg portions 3 and 4 and a control top portion 5.
  • the control top portion 5 of the garment 1 preferably is terminated at the waist with a knitted-in welt 6.
  • the welt 6 preferably ranges from 2.54 to 7.62 centimeters (1 to 3 inches) in width.
  • the leg portions 3 and 4 preferably are terminated with knitted-in welts 7 and 8 just below the knees.
  • the welts 7 and 8 range from 2.54 to 7.62 centimeters (1 to 3 inches) in width.
  • the welts 6, 7 and 8 provide a snug fit on the user's legs and waist without overly constricting these areas.
  • the crotch 9 is made of cotton. The crotch 9 preferably is sewn onto the garment 1 after the knitting process has been performed.
  • the control top portion 5 also preferably extends down the leg portions 3 and 4, preferably approximately 20.3 to 33.0 centimeters (8 to 13 inches) below where the leg portions 3 and 4 begin.
  • the lines 11 and 12 indicate the locations where the control top portion 5 ends and the leg portions 3 and 4 begin.
  • the control top portion 5 is manufactured using a plane-knit process.
  • each of the four feeds contains a single yarn.
  • the first coarse is LYCRA® yarn, which is a product of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company, or spandex yarn, which is a more generic term for the same or substantially similar material manufactured by many different manufacturers.
  • the spandex or LYCRA® has a denier of 120, but may range from approximately 60 to approximately 150 in denier.
  • the second coarse is a nylon yarn, preferably a 7034 textured nylon having a denier ranging from approximately 40 to approximately 100.
  • the third coarse preferably is identical to the first course.
  • the fourth coarse preferably is identical to the second coarse.
  • the plane-knit process used for the control top could utilize a 7034 textured nylon and a 120-denier spandex or LYCRA® yarn.
  • a 3x1 T-bar is knitted in so that the crotch, which preferably is cotton, can later be sewn on.
  • the order in which the garment is manufactured is as follows: the knitted-in welts 7 and 8 that terminate the leg portions 3 and 4 are knitted first, the leg portions 3 and 4 are knitted next, the control top 5 is knitted after the leg portions 3 and 4, and the knitted-in welt 6 comprising the waistband is knitted last.
  • This enables the knitting process to end with the knitting of the waistband, which is preferable to the knitting process ending with the knitting of the knitted-in welts comprising the leg bands. This is because, wherever the knitting process ends, a porting of the knitted material will remain.
  • this order provides the best results.
  • the garment 1 of the present invention is not limited with respect to the order in which the various portions of the garment 1 are knitted.
  • the leg portions 3 and 4 preferably are very sheer in order to maximize comfort for the user.
  • the knitting process transfers to a plane-knit process after the knitted-welts 7 and 8 terminating the leg portions 3 and 4 have been completed.
  • the plane-knit process corresponds to what is commonly referred to as the all-knit process, which means that all four feeds are up.
  • a 20/10/7 LYCRA® or spandex yarn is used in the first and third feeds. This corresponds to a 20-denier LYCRA® or spandex yarn covered with a 10 denier textured nylon yarn with 7 filaments.
  • the second and fourth feeds preferably contain 15/7 textured yarns.
  • the leg portions 3 and 4 preferably are comprised of a material ranging from an approximately 7 to approximately 40 denier nylon yarn and an approximately 10/7 to an approximately 40/13 LYCRA® yarn.
  • the knitted-in welts 6, 7 and 8 comprise the thickest areas of the garment 1.
  • the control top portion 5 is thicker than the leg portions 3 and 4 to provide additional support, and as stated above, extends over the "saddlebag regions.”
  • the knitted-in welt 6 comprising the waistband preferably is manufactured as follows. All of the feeds preferably use the same yarns, which is a 360-denier yarn manufactured by Globe Manufacturers. A 1x1 yarn selection is contained on the first feed. A 1x1 selection means that one of the needles is up whereas the other is down.
  • the second feed preferably utilizes a plane-knit selection, which means that all needles are up.
  • the third feed preferably utilizes a 1x1 alternate, which means that whatever needle was facing up on feed 1, the corresponding needle on feed 3 is facing down.
  • Feeds 2 and 4 utilize a plane-knit selection, which means all needles are up.
  • a single rubber yarn is knitted into the knitted-in welt 6 to ensure that the waistband and is secured about the waist of the user.
  • the rubber yarn is optional because the denier used in this region is believed to be sufficient to provide the needed support.
  • the single rubber yarn should not be confused with the aforementioned elastic bands that were used as the waistbands in prior art designs.
  • the present invention utilizes the knitted-in welts to produce the waist and leg bands so that the discomfort and other disadvantages associated with elastic bands are avoided. It should also be noted that where a 1x1 selection has been specified above, a 3x1 selection could be used instead.
  • the knitted-in welts 7 and 8 comprising the leg bands are manufactured identically to the manner in which the knitted-in welt 6 comprising the waistband is manufactured, except that the single optional rubber yarn used in the knitted-in welt 6 comprising the waistband is not needed in the knitted-in welts 7 and 8 comprising the leg bands.
  • a rubber yarn may be used in the knitted-in welts 7 and 8 comprising the leg bands if desired.
  • Fig 2 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention wherein the knitted-in welts 7 and 8 comprising the leg bands are above the knee.
  • This garment 2 preferably is identical to the garment 1 shown in Fig. 1 in all other respects.
  • the disclosed pantyhose undergarment and method for manufacturing enhance the appearance of and increase the safety to a wearer.
  • the pantyhose undergarment and method for manufacturing reduces the appearance of seams, lines and other irregularities when worn under outer garments, and improves the appearance of a wearer when wearing and open shoe.
  • the pantyhose undergannent increases the stability of a wearer because the wearer's foot is less likely to slip inside a shoe since there is no friction reducing material between the wearer's skin and the inside of a shoe. Therefore, the pantyhose undergarment and method for manufacturing have industrial applicability in the fashion, retail and textile industries, among others.
